The mess of 12 thousand houses turned the pond alive
After eight months during the Mahakal project, another big picture of change has come to light in Ujjain. Here the Rudrasagar pond, adjacent to the Mahakal path, has blossomed. Till eight months ago, there was so much hyacinth here that it was difficult to find water. To make the pond clean, 40 people worked day and night to remove the water hyacinth for one and a half months. For the first time after 2016’s Simhastha, the focus was on this pond.
